Osteoarthritis pain impairs quality of life and restricts mobility. To slow the progression of knee osteoarthritis and alleviate pain, a tailored treatment is crucial. But which therapy is the right one?

Painkillers, surgery, physiotherapy, orthopedic aids? Every patient has their own individual medical history – that’s why we advise you personally and recommend the aids that meet your needs and symptoms.

We would also be happy to advise you on possible cost coverage.
